- New York, have inventedccrtain new and use-v ful 1m royeinents in Steel Barrels, of which the fol owmg is a specification...

This lnvention relates to metal. or steel harformed separately from the body', are secured to the latter in such manner that a fluid-tight .receptacle is provided, this being accomplished in an im )roved manner by means of a malleableiron c amping ring.

for the pu dcannot or inaril In the drawings accompanying and fgrm m5 part of tl'iisspecification, Figure-1 is a sli e view partly in section and with a art thereof broken away, illustrating one of these vimproved metal or steehharrels; Fig. 2 is an4 enlarged crossfsection'al view of one end of the barrel` with its head united to the body;

Figs. 3 to 8 illustrate the mode of attaching the head tothe body, Figs. 3 and .4 illustrating the bodv, Figs. 5 and' the body and the hlead, and 'F c am mg ring, lo said Fig. 8.

The present construction is an improve.- .ment upon the prior art of which I am aware, in that it does not-re uire the formation of a recess in.` the side Wa ose of forming a shoulder, which be of very great depth without materia ly increasing the thickness of the ring', which is undesirable, and which igs. and 8 thebody, head.- and Fig. 2 being a successive #ew recess moreover ,does not permit of the folding of' one member, the head or body, around the folded metal of the other mem er so asto 'more completely and effectively interlock rpendently of the clamping rinv these two members one with the other inde- By bending a part of one member, as t e body, u on itself and then bending apart of the ot er in'nilei", :is (in: inruil, around ii noi'. onlyI ls an increased clamping surface or shoulder formed on the receptacle itsell for'the engagement of the clamping flange of the malleable iron ring, but an effective lockingof the parts is obtained when the ring is in position, While that which ed e of the arrel. This effective locking ris Y no the case in those structures where one member is merely bent over an unbent por tion of the other. member since in such structures there s 'no positive locking of the'l parte, y the' insep.arabili ty of the members depending vable metal is t l of the clamping ring.

permitsfthis also reinforces the' matter of' fact such structures ar(` but a form of slip-joint cfmncction, and under great pressure one part can slip or pull away from the other, whereas in the present casu there is in addition to the clamping pressure which holds the parts together a distinct locking of those arts by a flange which underlaps both the fo ded 'ortions of the barrel and hvad,so that in order to separatethe head from the body the flange of' the clam )ing ringr would have to be actually broken od.

he resent improvement comprises a body or llarrel ortion 2 and a flamfed head 3 of any desired s mpc, the flan 'e '4 0F which extends toward theends of tie barrel. The body 2 has its outer edges 5 each first bent' upon itself once or a` lurality of times, preforably the latter, to orln a bead or shoulder (i which also materially 'reinforces and .-.|r(n fthens the edge-portion of the barrel.` The anged h ead is then inserted anditsleie 'edge 7 bent over this bead to the .desired extent, preferabl so that its edge will be in ggrimty to t e`ex`posed edge of'the body d. A clam ing ring 8, usually of malle- 1 en located osi-tion. In tlfie resent instance it is inserte into the end o t head and hold the same tightly in engagement with the barrel body as at 9. This clamping ring is provided With a bendable loc ing` flange' 10, which is then. by pressure, usually by rolling, forced around the folded or bent ortions of the head and bod so as to underap'the same, thereby comp etely encircling and enfolding the same in t 1e manner shown in Fig. thereby positively locking the parts. together in such a manner that it is not ossible to separate the head from the bo y ex-' cept by breaking'or shearing the flange.

n `the foregoing construction there is'a positive clamping of one member, as the mad, to the other member, as the body,

barrel so as to overlapthe flange of the .f

without dependin upon the formation of;

recess to form a s oulder'in the wall of clamping member or ring, not merely by two opposed clam ing surfaces, but by meansof' a ange whic sitively-e es and 'over-l la a shoulder ormed by ben mg the metal i o oth, the body and the 'head one within. the' other which also reinforces the edge of-l the barrel. `The clam ing ring is so formed thatp'referably apart t ereof will project beyond together, as a sectioncut therefrom. discloses, y

that to all intents and purposes they are the saine as welded together, and this effective llu1d tight connection is obtained without the 4use of solder or other holding means.

may be bent upon itselfonce or a pluralityTl As l'lereinbefore stated, one of the parts of times so that when. the metal of the other vpart is bent th'erearouml four or more thicknesses of metal will be the result. ln the present embodiment it will be observed that the body and closure flange. are bent to form ve thicknesses of metal, which -thus provides a relatively enlarged shoulder made up ol three thicknesses of metal, while the free end of the locking` flange of theclam ping ring is bent at an abrupt angle to such flange and inwardly, as shown inthe drawing, and thus overlaps the shoulder in an effective manner positively to look the bent portions of the )ody and closure flange within the walls of the ring, thereby to form a fluid-tight' joint,

l claim as my invention:

1. A barrel or receptacle comprising a body and a head united by a iluid tight, solderless joint; said. body an"d head being bent one upon the other to form at leastfour thicknesses of metal thereby. toormashouL.A

der made up ol' at least two thicknesses of lapping said bent portions with its free end bent at an abrupt angle to such llange so as to overlap nid shoulder thereby positivlljyl;V to lock said ben., portions withm4 the W' 0f said ring. l i ,t

A barrel or receptacle comprising a body and a llanged head united by. a uid tight, solderless joint, said flange and,I head being bent one upon itself a plurality of times and the ou .er upon such bent portions forming a shoulder made up of three lthicknesses of metal, and an annular malleable metal/clamping ring' havin a bendaule lock-g ing [lange with its free end) angle to such flange so as to overlap such shoulder thereby positively to lock said bent portions within the Walls of said ring.

body and. a flanged head united bg' tight, solderlcss joint, said bodr ,art bent upon itself and said 'an e belng lient around such bent portion of t e body and forming therewith a shoulder located ex-L teriorly of thebarrel, and a malleable metal clamping ring having a part thereof located interlorl of and in parallelism with the flanged he the bent portions of such head and body with its free end bent inwardly at an abru t'an le ring.
